Swissquote closed the first six months of 2025 with net revenue of CHF 358.2 million ($444.2 million) and a pre-tax profit of CHF 185.2 million ($229.6 million). The two figures rose by 13 per cent and 9.1 per cent year-on-year, respectively. Net profit reached CHF 158.2 million ($196.2 million), up 9.4 per cent.
Expectations Are Now Higher
Following the results, the company raised its full-year pre-tax profit guidance to CHF 365 million ($452.6 million) from CHF 355 million ($440.2 million). It is also expecting to generate around CHF 700 million in revenue, up from CHF 675 million.
In its latest announcement, Swissquote said its net fee and commission income increased by 26 per cent to CHF 109.5 million ($135.8 million), driven by a 25 per cent rise in the total number of transactions to 3.5 million. Net trading income also climbed by 46.4 per cent.
Like many other trading platforms, crypto is one of Swissquote’s core offerings. Net crypto asset income jumped 22.7 per cent to CHF 43.1 million ($53.4 million), mainly due to a 16.2 per cent increase in crypto trading volumes.
Alongside higher revenue, Swissquote expanded its resources, particularly by increasing headcount in its technology teams and strengthening its international operations. Despite the higher operating costs, the company achieved a record profit for the six-month period.
The pre-tax profit margin was 51.7 per cent, down from 53.5 per cent, while the net profit margin slipped to 44.2 per cent from 45.6 per cent.
58,000 New Clients
The Switzerland-headquartered company also benefited from strong client growth, adding more than 58,000 new accounts – three-quarters of the growth achieved in 2024.
Client assets on the platform rose 18.1 per cent to a record CHF 80.4 billion ($99.7 billion), boosted by CHF 5.2 billion ($6.4 billion) in purely organic net new money.
“Despite the turbulent market environment, customers’ portfolios remained resilient, with client assets experiencing only a slight negative impact,” Swissquote said. “The portion of cash in client assets increased by approximately CHF 900 million ($1.12 billion) in the first six months of 2025 and remained stable as a percentage of total assets.”
Expectations from Yuh Are High
Earlier this year, Swissquote also secured Yuh's full ownership. Already holding a 50 per cent stake in the platform, it bought the rest from PostFinance, paying CHF 89.8 million ($111.4 million) in cash and treasury shares.
Now, the financials reveal that Yuh added 342,369 accounts in the first half of 2025, a yearly increase of 44.5 per cent. Client assets on the platform also jumped by 56.5 per cent to CHF 3.2 billion ($4.0 billion).
“The full consolidation of Yuh into Swissquote is expected to generate incremental net revenues of approximately CHF 10 million ($12.4 million) for the remainder of 2025, with minimal contribution to the pre-tax profit during this period,” Swissquote noted.

We also cover the state of payments ahead of her appearance on the payments roundtable: the blockages financial firms face, the areas that still need fixing, and what a realistic solution looks like in 2026.

In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.
